Send screen off while playing music #11

Is it possible to send a command to turn the TV screen off while leaving the music playing. There is a option on the TV to turn screen off while keeping the TV running. However, it is buried in menus and it is much more convenient to trigger it through node.

I fear that this is not possible, can't find any api endpoint for that.

I found that if you enable IP connectivity and connect via Telnet you can send commands including SCREEN_MUTE screenmuteon as documented here: http://www.proaudioinc.com/Dealer_Area/RS232C_EN_160526.pdf

I've confirmed this to work with my TV and am searching for a way to send a similar command using the ssap protocol used here.
